Temirkanov pays a call

Sash

The BSO’s beloved Music Director Emeritus Yuri Temirkanov—who served as music director
from 2000 –2006 —makes his anticipated return on March 17–19. Among the world’s preeminent
interpreters of works from the Russian repertoire, Maestro Temirkanov will lead Rachmaninoff’s
passionate Third Piano Concerto, featuring Denis Matsuev, and Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony,
which culminates in a glorious, exultant finale.

2016 –2017 Season:

Centennial
Spectacular!

For generations, the BSO has introduced
children to the thrill of live, orchestral
performances. One of the perennial children’s
concert favorites is Prokofiev’s winsome Peter and
the Wolf. This March and April, the BSO led by
Nicholas Hersh brings this gem to life with help
from the lively antics of the Bob Brown Puppets.
Also on the program is Aaron Copland’s I Bought
Me A Cat, sung by Robert Cantrell. This delightful
Rheda Becker
concert is narrated by Rheda Becker, who marks
her 42nd year as narrator for the BSO on March 12
at 11a.m. and 1p.m. at Strathmore, and the Meyerhoff on April 2 at 11a.m.
“We absolutely knew that Peter and the Wolf had to be part of the Centennial season!”
